The movie for Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory was long delayed.
It was very nearly not made.
African American groups screamed like crazy:
“The Oompah Loompahs DEMEAN us..!!!” The fuss went on for a very long time.
Originally the characters were slated to really look like African pygmies but as a nod to these racial concerns they were instead to make other-worldly with orange skin and white eyebrows, etc. and said to hail from a country near Armenia, on the Caspian Sea.
Few of the activists knew it but the Oompa-Loompas were a real tribe of African pygmies in Tanzania. The imposing factory in the movie is pattereed after a well-known factory outside of Dar-es-Salaam.
What crow are you talking about.

Just making a funny. (Look at the truncated title of this article.)
Soon they will complain about her gun... and theirs...
I was making a funny with you. Lol.
Unfortunately, the writing was on the wall when disney parks, post Walt started promoting homosexual days...
I must of had rode that POTC ride at least a dozen times growing up in california in the late 60’s-70’s. So sad what the state and disney has become. No fault of your’s Walt! RIP!

If they remove the wench, I’m out.
Of course, if the scene was Historically accurate, the young girls would be raped, older men would be killed and boys would be taken as slaves...
Yep, if we’re talking historic accuracy, Pirates of the Caribbean couldn’t even be a theme park ride, due to the violence and death and degradation involved with real pirates.
So, there are objections to a “wench” being sold as a bride.
But, will there be complaints from gun control types, since they will make one of the women a pirate herself, holding a gun???
Once you start down the road of political correctness, you have to wonder where it all ends.
